The title refers to its three characters: Vicky is an earnest, cerebral young woman played by Britain's Rebecca Hall with the pitch-perfect American accent that the new generation of Brit professionals has mastered. She is working on her "Master's degree in Catalan culture" and, leaving a well-off fiancé behind in New York, is spending the summer in Spain with her friend, the rumpled and sexually adventurous blonde Cristina, played by Scarlett Johansson. The third character is the city of Barcelona itself, whose architecture and cuisine are sunnily photographed as if for some tourist promotion. But all three are effortlessly upstaged by Penélope Cruz, playing Maria Elena, the passionate and crazy ex-wife of a moody Picasso-ish artist called Juan Antonio Gonzalo (Javier Bardem).
